उत्तर

P(n) which is true for all n.

Let P(n) be,

1 + 2 + 3 + .... + n = `(n(n + 1))/2`

P(0) is 0 = `(0(0 + 1))/2` = 0; it's true.

P(1) is 1 = `(1(1 + 1))/2` = 1; it's true.

P(2) is 1 + 2 = `(2(2 + 1))/2` ; it's true.

P(k) is 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + k = `(k(k + 1))/2`.

P(k) is 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + k + 1 = `(k(k + 1))/2 + k + 1`.

= `((k + 1)(k + 2))/2`

⇒ P(k) is true for all k.

Therefore, P(n) is true for all n.
